I hadn't seen my mother for 90 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: fifty years. On the light of the cyclone, we thought 91 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: she'd run off with the rugby coaks. Next morning, it 92 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: turned out she hasn't because we've I'm part two of 93 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: the channel on documentary. The other week. She is standing 94 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: on the bus and I start pointing to the TV 95 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: with six people in the room, and I can't speak. 96 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: I am completely gobsmacked. And I look, I said, and 97 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: they said, what's up? I said, I think that's my mother. 98 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: Sheer could be. So I ring my sister and I said, 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: have you got playback on your TV? 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: No? 101 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: I don't, wasn't watching the cyclone Tracy thing anyway. I 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: ring a maid of mine. He's got playback. He knew 103 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: my mother as soon as he saw the clip. Be goes, 104 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: that's her, all right, And I was still I'm still 105 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: gobsmacked two weeks later. 106 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: So, Rusty, you literally for the last fifty years have 107 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: thought that your mom left with the footy coach. 108 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: Well, mom was pretty Women of that year can be 109 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: a little bit a bit harsh at time. So my 110 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: mother was very harsh for me. So I did see 111 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: her twice in that during that fifty year period, but 112 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: very short, well one. I hadn't seen her for five 113 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: or six years. I walked into the room. She's she's 114 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: a chained smoke and smoke's everywhere. And first I stood up, 115 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: stood in the door, and she looked at me and 116 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: she said, you're gone, bald. I didn't answer. I just 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 2: turned and walked and went back to the car. And 118 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: about another ten or twelve years later, same story. My 119 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: sister got because you come and see mon before she 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: passes or whatever. So I went again, and this time 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: it was I walked in same Still I hadn't said 122 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: the words. She said, you're getting fat. So I walked 123 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: out again. And I really didn't see her until the 124 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: night before she passed it at the hospital. I made 125 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: a point of going up to see her. 126 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess it changes your sort of your 127 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: recollection of history to some degree, doesn't I. 128 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: Well, I didn't know whether to be happy that I 129 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: saw her or sad that or saw happy to see 130 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: her again because that's my mother. 131 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 132 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: God, but then I remember him of all the nasty 133 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: things and the harsh upbringing that I had sort of 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: balanced it out. 135 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I wonder as some of these footage as 136 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: well has come to life, and you know as Channel 137 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: nine and Sky News and even different photographs and different 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: audio and that kind of thing has come to light 139 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: over the last fifty years. What kind of memories it 140 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: is going to conjure up for different people and as 141 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: they get up to all their stories as well throughout 142 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: the event that you guys have organized, what it's like, 143 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: what it's going to mean for people. 144 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: What we did in Parmas. It took us back to 145 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: the night, it took us through. And as I've said 146 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 2: before on this show and other shows, that any cycle 147 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: on Tracy Survivor, you mention it and they have instant recall. 148 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: It's not to have to think about what happened to 149 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 2: it's instant recall. That's that's the trauma. 150 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: I think we're going to see the four seasons. That's 151 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: what certainly planned out In Palmerston. There were moments of 152 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: you know, real poignant reflection, tears, it was cathartics. Many 153 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: people said to just be part of that, but also 154 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 3: there was laughter and also hope, and I think overall 155 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: that is the tale of survival. We are still here, 156 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: we are resilient, and we are unified and dignified as 157 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: we come together to commemorate this important occasion. 158 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: My mother used these words on the bus. She said, 159 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: we've been white out, but we're alive. And I can 160 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: recall so many people saying that. The next day, I'm alive. 161 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: We were walking around stunder We're still here. How do 162 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: we survive that? I still see still pictures of the 163 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: streets just wiped out, and I think, how did anyone 164 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: survive that? 165 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: Well? Amsia, what was on the show with us earlier 166 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: this morning? And she said, you know, she looked her 167 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: up the road where her friend lived and the house 168 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: was just you know, there was floorboards left. She thought, 169 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: where are they? Are they still alive? And I can't, like, 170 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: I cannot imagine how many times people would have thought 171 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: that that morning and thought to themselves, where are those people? 172 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: And you know what's happened? 173 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: I see it on the clips all the time.
